Chief Executive Officer, Magna Learning Partnership

Salary: Highly competitive (£110-140k)

Start date: September 2023

Enabling a world of freedom, opportunity, and fulfilment…

Magna Learning Partnership is a family of Church of England and community schools formed in 2017. It has since grown to become a Multi Academy Trust consisting of three secondary schools, a sixth form college, and six primary schools in Salisbury and the surrounding area. Ensuring our pupils have access to an excellent education is at the heart of every decision we make, and we aim to remain local: providing the very best opportunities for all children and young people to ‘let their light shine’. We celebrate our success so far, but we are ambitious and there is significantly more we want to achieve.

This CEO opportunity creates a new and exciting path forward, evolving our strategic plan with fresh insight, rigour and influence. Building on secure foundations, our new CEO will embed a compelling vision of excellence and deliver dynamic leadership that empowers others to give their absolute best and crucially, achieves great outcomes for the community we are so proud to serve.

Whether you are a leader in education or an existing executive in the commercial sector, what matters is your aspiration to lead a MAT and your proven ability to achieve outstanding results, while fostering an ethos of high ambition, innovation, and creativity. You will need strategic leadership experience in complex settings, and evidence of successfully leading such organisations to the next level of performance. Naturally, you’ll bring political nous, an entrepreneurial outlook, and a flair for developing high performing teams. Whatever your background, you’ll recognise this is a genuine opportunity to impact the lives of thousands of young people.

In return, we can offer you unparalleled support from a forward-thinking Trust Board, excellent benefits, and the opportunity to lead a dedicated team that has great ambition for our schools.

We are always keen to hear from great leaders. To find out more about this career-defining opportunity, then do get in touch.
